❓ FAQs – Valentine’s Day BBQ Recipes

Can I cook these recipes indoors?
Absolutely. All three dishes work in a frying pan, oven or under the grill — no outdoor BBQ required (unless you're ready to brave the ever changing UK February weather!). 

What rub should I use for a romantic steak dinner?
SPG is our top pick for steak. It gives a restaurant-style sear and lets the meat shine.

Are your rubs suitable for vegetarians?
Yes — all our rubs are meat-free and perfect on veg, halloumi, or tofu. Miami Mojo is especially good for veggie trays.

What’s a good side for the chicken dish?
Sweet potato wedges with a lime crema or spicy slaw pair perfectly. You could also serve it in soft tacos for a casual twist.

Can I gift your rubs for Valentine’s Day?
Yes — our BBQ gift sets come in beautiful packaging with a sweet treat and handwritten thank-you card. They're built to impress.
